Failure on Lucid 528-005. On the recent distros the driver wl works well for the public wifi.
However thanks to you helping us to improve Lucid 528, which is moreover a nice distro.
Sure i can work with eth0. But i have a laptop Medion P7624. I'd like to do not have a chain in the leg at home. The electric cable is fixed yonder on my chandelier so that I am not caught the feet inside.
It's not a disaster...
Bonne journée.

I'm using lupu_525 on a full hard disk install.
Have been doing so for a while with no problems, when I set it up I installed the broadcom-5.10.27.14-k2.6.25.16.pet as I did with all previous puppies and all was fine.

Today I tried running precise 5.5 on a live CD and the weird thing is that it
sees my neighbours' wi-fi networks but not my own! No clue atall.
Some neighbours are using WPA2, just like me.

When I go back to my full install, everything is fine again.

Can anyone suggest why this might be and what I need to install/uninstall?

EDIT: I scanned this thread and installed the closest pet I could find (Precise 5.2 version) but I get an error message "incorrect kernel for this data".Last edited by redandwhitestripes on Wed 05 Jun 2013, 09:13; edited 1 time in total

Hi there

Seen you've had some advice already over on the Precise 5.5 thread.

Precise 5.5 contains all the logic and drivers - b43 and wl - to support Broadcom wifi - you don't need to install any additional pets.

The fact that you can see neighbours signals indicates that the Puppy part of the system is behaving correctly.

Do you think your router might be set to hidden SSID? Have you tried typing the SSID explicitly into whichever Network Manager you are using?

Have you tried all 3 available Network Managers - SNS, Frisbee and NetWiz? If not find the Internet Connection Wizard in the Setup menu and try Frisbee.

Lenovo s10 netbook - Braodcom STASubject description: Wifi still does not work with new pets.

First, I would like to thank everyone helping us withe the broadcom issues. You are all great. I have a Lenovo S10 Netbook running lucid 5.2.8 -500 on k2.6.33.2 with wifi broacom sta issues. I've tried installing the three multi-pet packages you created with no true success. These are the three pets that I have tried
and are located at: http://e-nautia.com/peebee/disk?f=1237693

This is my experience with with each pets:
broadcom_sta_v5.60.48.36_patched_x86_32-multi
- successfully loaded
- rebooted just fine
- was able to locate my ssid.
- Fail to locate access point
broadcom_sta_v5.100.82.112_patched_x86_32-multi.
- At install..."the delta file for this pet is missing. Please uninstall the pet."
- I dont know what delta file it is referring to.

[EDIT] Precise 5.6 Beta2 now has the wl.ko driver so this delta should be redundant [/EDIT]

Barry has published Precise 5.6Beta but this doesn't have the wl driver built-in (hopefully this will be rectified for the release version) but in the meantime here is the delta pet for Precise 5.6Beta kernel 3.2.44

[edit]full wl.ko driver has been sent to Barry hopefully to appear in next Precise 5.6 version...........[/edit]

to redandwhitestripes & peebee
"When I go back to my full install, everything is fine again."

I suppose that happens because wl module loads after saving/rebooting
Managed wifi on manual flugal(no save file yet) also should work in live by networkwizard+frisbee one after the other with static IPs on both networkmanagers. frisbee reconects at intervals but works.
My wifi is wep-encrypted but in kernel modules see lib89211_crypt_tkip.ko loaded suppose should be lib89211_crypt_wep.ko.
The question is: is it possible(and how if is) to load proper lib module without rebooting/making save-file so that I could be able to work live? any ideas? what info should I submit? where to dig?
my distro precise 5.6. should i try another networkmanager?
